Svandís Svavarsdóttir has publicly condemned the ruling coalition's approach to managing preparations for the national referendum, calling the process narrow and undemocratic.

Former Icelandic minister Svandís Svavarsdóttir stated that the EU debate is characterized by clichés and assertions, expressing regret over the decision to join without a prior national referendum.

Hlynur Már Ragnheiðarson has announced his candidacy for the leadership of Iceland's Left-Green Movement, with elections scheduled for early March. Rósa Björk Brynjólfsdóttir has also announced her bid, while Svandís Svavarsdóttir will not seek the position.
